Never-ending Story Part 2

(Minor change: You can now post a complete sentence.)

The Hiawatha rocketed across the layout, and there was no way to stop it from flying off Vampire Curve.

The conductor uttered a complete sentence. But it won't hold up on appeal.

Of course, they were all miniature replicas of people, but still, putting a young guest at the controls was a BAD idea!
